Read all of First Response Solar Inc.'s Google reviews hereI enthusiastically recommend First Response Solar for your home solar system. After meeting with representatives from 4 local solar providers we chose First Response largely due to Dylan's professionalism and knowledge, as well as the technology that the company offers. Dylan on the business side, Chaz in charge of installation, and all of their associates were fantastic. Everything was as seamless as one could hope, and our system was up and running quite soon after we signed the contract. The system has been operating for two months now and we remain very happy with with the workmanship provided by First Response and our energy production and storage system.
I had an outstanding experience with First Response Solar. From start to finish, their service was exemplary. The team was incredibly professional throughout the entire process, ensuring that every step was completed to the highest standard. What truly sets them apart is their attention to detail. They were meticulous in assessing my needs, designing the solar setup, and executing the installation with precision. It's rare to find a company that is so detail-oriented, and it gave me complete confidence in the quality of their work. I highly recommend First Response Solar for anyone looking for reliable, top-tier solar solutions!
Consultation to installation to orientation, First Response Solar made us feel confident and taken care of. We felt like were a part of a graduate level engineering course and a workshop discussion on renewable energy. Most wonderful, was how gracious, thoughtful, meticulous and easy the whole process was. Thank you Dylan, Chaz and your team.
